Big Y, which has a store in New Milford, plans to build a 63,835-square-foot supermarket that will anchor a new 100,000-square-foot shopping center to be constructed by C.E. Bethel LLC on a 14-acre site located at the southeast corner of Stony Road (Route 6) and Hawleyville Road.

The Bethel location will be the supermarket chain's 57th store and the third Big Y in Fairfield County. Big Y officials said the proposed store "represents an investment of over $5 million by Big Y into the local community."

More than 200 full-time and part-time positions will be created.

"We are excited to announce this addition to our Connecticut community of stores," said
Charles D'Amour
, CEO of Big Y.
